Dear Community,
The Document Foundation is happy to announce the second beta release
of LibreOffice 3.5.0. The upcoming 3.5 will be our third major release
line, packed with many exciting new features. Please be aware that
LibreOffice 3.5.0 Beta2 is not ready for production use, you should
continue to use LibreOffice 3.4.4 for that.
The release is available for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X from our QA
builds download page at
http://www.libreoffice.org/download/pre-releases/
Should you find bugs, please report them to the FreeDesktop Bugzilla:
A good way to assess the Beta2 quality is to run some specific manual
tests on it, our TCM wiki page has more details:

Let me close again with a BIG Thank You! to all of you having
contributed to the LibreOffice project - this release would not have
been possible without your help.
And I'll close with a personal note - let me wish you a very happy
holiday season, and a peaceful, and prospering, new year. It's been an
exiting past year again, and I look forward to even more fun in 2012.
Yours,
-- Thorsten
